I need to put the line “TIMEZONE=x” in notes.ini to set the time zone. But I don’t know the format how? My timezone is +6 GMT and I put in TIMEZONE=+6, is it correct?

Yes, that would be right.
Have a look here to get more information:

Just “TIMEZONE=6” will also work.
If you respect Daylight Savings Time, you’ll also want to add the DSTLAW parameter:
" If Domino is running on a IBM Series i operating system, one must use the DSTLaw parameter to control the Domino DST rules. The parameter should be set as follows: DSTLaw=3, 2, 1, 11, 1, 1 "
as outlined here: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21247972
Of course, those settings are for the new US/Canada changes going into effect, your settings may vary…

I guess the “Most Important Question” is:
Is the time displayed on the Domino Console (and in the log file) correct?
Subject: RE: How to set timezone in AS400
NO, in domino console, if i give a console commant ’ show time ’ give me wrong timezone, and in log.nsf file show wrong time also.

Sorry - what i meant was;
If you go to the Domino Console, are the times displayed on the console correct? (don’t type anything, just look at the entries scrolling by…)
Here’s a thought - what happens if you put ‘TIMEZONE=-6’ in your Notes.INI ?
Also ensure the parameter “UseNotesTimeZone=1” is NOT in your Notes.INI.
If that doesn’t help…
What version of OS/400 (i5/OS) are you running?
If you type ‘DSPSYSVAL QTIMZON’ is the timezone displayed : ‘QP0600UTCS’ ?
And if you type ‘DSPSYSVAL QTIME’ is the time displayed correct?
Does ‘DSPSYSVAL QUTCOFFSET’ show +6 ?

You’re still running AS/400? That’s so last century!
